Windows 10 Reviews

Our operation is remote, and third-party vendors completely provide our PCs. We have a contract with them, so they provided the hardware and remote software installation through automation services. They have the images. Each PC is personal, and we have one for each employee in the company, so there are around 70,000 users.

We have an Office-based environment, so we work on Microsoft Office and Teams. We use this for remote connections, networking, and whatever. A lot of our activities are based on Microsoft Teams. 

This isn't related to Windows 10, but rather the application that works on top. Teams is a good application, and it has provided excellent support for us in terms of exchanging information remotely during the pandemic. Teams is an important tool for us, and so are the others like Office, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Windows 10 isn't as stable as MacOS and requires too many patches. When the patches are installing, it slows down the PC. These changes are complex, and many processes are running simultaneously, so we experience a decrease in speed.

Another thing that could be useful is the ability to create virtual machines inside to have a hypervisor if it's possible. That way, we could use the operating system to create new virtual machines, allowing us to add special installations that might be useful for personal projects. But this is complex, but it could meet the market demand. VMware is the most widely used system globally, and Oracle is also common. So it would be great if we had something that could be used inside the operating system without installing something on top.

We've been using Windows 10 for three or four years. We had a recent upgrade, and I think we'll be moving toward Windows 11 soon.

Windows 10 isn't always stable. But we have an automated patching system, and we're required to install a lot of patches. 

Our platform is 16 gigabytes, and we primarily use i5-based processors. For our typical use, this hardware is fine. We connect through the usual tools to our test plant, and we use normally Linux or Unix-based environments for development. The PCs are primarily used for office applications.

We had an earlier version of Windows on our PCs. And about 15 years ago, we had a solution based on Sun Microsystems, so we used Unix. Windows 10 isn't as stable. That's why I prefer the macOS configuration. It's also less stable than the Unix-based Sun Microsystems setup we used some time ago.I think Windows is easier to use for office applications. But I wouldn't recommend it for industrial or telecom applications because I think many things need to be adjusted continuously, so I don't like this.

I can install Windows 10 but not in our office because our external support provides it. However, I also have experience installing the full stack on a personal PC, so I think it's easy to do. I don't like the automatic installation of the patches because it's managed internally by the OS. In Unix, it's possible to make some changes. But the bottom line is that it's quite simple to install. I don't think that it's a problem. It takes maybe half an hour or less to install. It depends on the specs of the PC and what you need to do in advance, like backing up your drives. At most, it takes an hour.

I rate Windows 10 eight out of 10. Microsoft should fix their releases as much as possible before putting them out. When I first installed Windows 10, I had to implement a lot of patches every week. This is not good. And even if we have a support service that prevents malware, we need to install antivirus and check every day. This isn't a problem for Unix-based platforms, which have more resilience for that. It depends on the use case. If you want to use Windows 10 for office applications, it's okay, but I wouldn't recommend it for industrial applications.

With Windows 10, we can perform in-place updates. We are capable of handling compliance management and we can apply a patch software distribution.

I like that I can patch and campaign software distribution.

The performance is good.

I haven't found that it needs any improvements. We are able to patch all of our machines. We haven't had any issues with this operating system.

The interface could be more user-friendly.

I have been using Windows 10 for five or six years.

I am using the 2019 Windows Operating system. We are using the latest version.

It can be deployed both on-premises and in the cloud.

Windows 10 is a stable solution.

Scalability is common with all products. Windows 10 is a very scalable product.

Most of the users in our organization use Linux.

We have plans to increase our usage.

Technical support is good. They are available 24/7.

I am also using Linux as well as Red Hat, which is a requirement of the organization. We haven't switched.

The initial setup is easy. 

The installation process is quick. We install the agent in the machines, in five minutes. It does not require a lot of time.

This solution will be maintained by two to three admins, not that much.

I was able to complete the installation myself.

There are no additional costs.

I would recommend this solution to others who are thinking of using it.

I would rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten.

Windows 10 is useful for running computers and applications. 

This solution is deployed on-premise. 

The most valuable feature of Windows 10 is the usability. The performance, security, and user interface are good. 

Windows 10 could be improved by making the price cheaper. 

I have been using Windows 10 since its launch, so for a couple of years. 

This solution is stable and the performance is good. 

Windows 10 is scalable. There are about 300 people in my organization using this solution. 

Before implementing Windows 10, I was using Windows 7, and before that, I was using Windows XP. I switched because I was just upgrading to a newer version. 

The installation was easy and straightforward. I did it myself, and it took about 30 minutes. For deployment and maintenance, we have a team of about four admins. 

I implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

We need to pay for licensing to use Windows 10. Any time we change the computers, we have to pay, and it's a bit expensive. 

I rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten and would recommend it to others. 

We use Windows 10 as our operating system. 

We primarily use it to run Microsoft Office and collaborate with various Microsoft apps. Specifically, Outlook and Teams.

For the productivity suite, Microsoft Office is what we use.

We are satisfied with this operating system.

It is easy to use.

Windows 10 consumes a lot of RAM, which is inconvenient. Your machine will be slower if your device is underpowered and you have to open five or six different apps. With Windows 10, this is a challenge.

If Windows is able to allocate RAM judiciously in those scenarios, you can continue to work with multiple windows open without experiencing any slowdown. This is one area that needs to be improved.

The RAM is a persistent issue with Windows 10. It slows the system down.

I'm not sure when Windows 10 was first implemented at the company, but I started in April and have been using it ever since.

Most of the time it is stable.

Windows 10 is a scalable product.

I am working in a large enterprise. We have more than 5,000 users.

I have not personally contacted technical support. If there are some issues, I send the request to the IT department. They make the necessary improvements for the changes.

My experience has been good.

We use SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Outlook.

I personally do not use the Microsft Authenticator to connect to the VPN, but others are using it.

I was not involved with the setup of Windows 10, it is done by our IT department.

I would recommend this system to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate, Windows 10 an eight out of ten.

We use Windows 10 for our personal applications. 

I like the stability, the performance and the ease of use. We have not had any problems with the solution. 

It would be nice to have more integration with other platforms, something which is always welcome. 

The solution is quite stable, a feature which I like. 

The solution is scalable. 

We have not contacted technical support, although we are entitled to premium support when needed. 

With most of our users we use Windows 10. When it comes to some of the older versions, we go with Windows Symantec. 

The installation is quite straightforward.

I do not know how long it took. 

I believe that the technical team involved in the installation consists of a large number when one accounts for the developers. 

Perhaps an additional 20 or 25 people are required for the deployment. This obviously depends on innumerable factors, such as the number of end users or servers involved or how many instances of the operating system are running. 

The price could possibly be improved, although I cannot know this for certain. 

I do not know the specifics of the licensing terms, as we are talking about an enterprise arrangement of which I am not involved. 

While I have not contacted technical support, we are entitled to premium support when needed. 

The solution is fine as is. I do not see shortcomings in it. 

Windows PATH has been used exclusively. 

I rate Windows 10 as a nine out of ten. 

My primary use case of Windows 10 is for personal use. I don't run anything business-related on Windows. I use it from time-to-time and it's deployed on-premises. I use it a couple of times a year, whenever I occasionally need to do small tasks, like copy files that only Windows has access to. 

The most valuable feature is that it's a good enough operating system for anyone who isn't technically proficient. 

This solution is good enough, but Windows is always playing catch-up when it comes to development. For instance, Docker containers is technology that was introduced with Linux and they just decided that it was usable. The primary reason why I rarely use Windows is that it's not interesting from a development perspective. 

An improvement I would like to see is in Windows updates. They don't seem to test the updates. My wife uses Windows as well and after the update, her computer was no longer usable. It was what we call the "blue screen of death." It had to be erased and started up from scratch, which was a nightmare. It seems that they aren't testing their updates anymore, they're just pushing them, and they're not propagating the updates to everybody. They're propagating to a specific, small portion of people. Only after do they check if everything is okay. If there's no bad feedback, then they increase the scope, release the updates to the wider public, and so on. Windows is a paid operating system, so this is not normal and not okay. I would expect this from open source technologies, but even these are better. We are using the open source version of Ubuntu, which is free, and it's still way better than the updates for Microsoft operating systems. I have only worked with the desktop version of Windows 10, so I don't know how things work for the server operating systems, but at least for the common user of Windows 10, it's a nightmare. 

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years. 

This solution is stable, but updates affect this too. The operating system is stable until an update causes everything to crash. This happens more often that not, I would say. My wife has had two issues with this. On two separate occasions, her computer has crashed just because of the updates. Every time her computer restarts because of an update that needs to be installed, she is afraid that her computer will stop working. 

I'm not sure because I am the only one who uses Windows, and even then it's on very rare occasions. 

I have never dealt with Microsoft technical support. 

I haven't installed Windows myself. My wife says that Windows was already installed and licensed along with the machine that she purchased. 

I implemented through a vendor team. Windows 10 came with the laptop my wife purchased. 

Our Windows 10 license was purchased with a laptop. 

I also use the open source version of Ubuntu Linux, which is free and still runs better than Windows 10. If you are technically proficient, I recommend going with Ubuntu Linux. If not, go with Windows. 

For cloud-based software, I use G Suite Enterprise. I use this software to communicate with customers who need to record videos and other things like that, and I prefer it over Zoom. 

I would rate Windows 10 a five out of ten, primarily because the updates for the desktop version are a nightmare and need improvement. I recommend Windows to anybody who isn't technically proficient. Otherwise, go with Ubuntu Linux. 

My primary use case is for daily office work. I use the full Microsoft 365 suite with Outlook, PowerPoint, all those tools. We have fully implemented Microsoft and don't use any third-party applications. Outlook is the main mail application, Teams and Lync are for communication, Word and PowerPoint are for editing, preparing documents, and presentation. 

The most valuable feature is how friendly the interface is. I expect that we will soon go up to Windows 11 because it's already available. 

Windows 10 could be improved by implementing synchronization between Teams and Skype for Business. If you're in a conference call in one tool, the other tool shows that you're available. This means that you get calls from other people in your organization while you are unavailable. So synchronization is missing, that's all. 

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable. 

I have never contacted technical support. If I have a problem, I contact my IT department and they are the ones who contact Microsoft, but they know how to solve most problems. 

The installation was very easy. I received a link from our IT department, clicked the link, and within a few minutes everything was up and running. You can do it yourself. 

I implemented myself. 

I'm unsure of cost or licensing because our IT department handles that. 

Even though Microsoft won't need my recommendation because Windows is such a popular tool, I recommend this to anyone who is looking into implementing this solution. 

There are about 500 people in my organization using this solution. There is no team necessary for deployment and you spend almost no time on maintenance compared to the duration of time that you are using Windows. It's very simple. 

I would rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten. It's a perfect tool and the cost is very reasonable. 

Windows 10 is something I use for both official and personal purposes.

I believe Windows was also performing governance for us.

I would like to have more security. With each passing phase, you must strengthen your security.  In the next release, I am expecting more security from Windows.

I've been using Windows 10 since its initial release. 

I've been using this operating system for quite some time, several years.

Windows 10 is quite stable.

Everyone in our company uses Windows 10. We have over 7,000 users.

I have never contacted technical support.

There are two things to consider. The first is that, as an organization, our policy is to move on to the next version once it has become stable. It was a group decision rather than an individual decision, leaving me no option, I had to upgrade it, and I did so.

The installation of Windows 10, is pretty straightforward.

To deploy and maintain this solution, we have a team of ten people.

You don't need help installing Windows 10, you can do it yourself.

We are classified as an enterprise and have an enterprise license.

I have no issues recommending this operating system.

I am very happy with Windows 10, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution on all of the company desktops and laptops. We use it for running personal and business applications.

The solution is easy to use. 

The performance is decent. I don't see many incidents of it crashing. 

The installation is easy and the deployment is pretty quick.

I wouldn't describe the solution as scalable. 

Compared to Ubuntu or other products, I don't consider the operating system to be that great in terms of stability.

We've been using this solution for seven or eight years at this point. 

The stability of the product isn't as good as, for example, Ubuntu. That said, I rarely deal with it crashing. 

The solution does not really scale.

We have about 5,000 users that use this product in our organization. 

We have internal support which is good and we get it pretty fast when we need it. 

We have a combination of Microsoft Windows, Oracle Linux, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We used to use Windows 7 and we've since updated everything to Windows 10.

The installation is straightforward and it only takes about 40 minutes to deploy. 

I can handle the implementation process myself. I do not need outside assistance from integrators or consultants. 

You do have to pay in order to use the solution, however, it is a one-time fee. You do not have to worry about daily or monthly licensing costs. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this product to other users and companies.

I am using Windows 10 on my personal and work computers. Everything application that I use has to go through Windows 10. I could not do anything without it.

I have found all the features to be valuable. I like the compatibility of Windows with other products, I can add applications. The general compatibility of Microsoft is good, I know that I can use all the Microsoft products.

I do not like the interface of Windows 10 very much and the performance could be enhanced. Sometimes everything is a little bit cumbersome. When I used the interface of Windows 7 it was much quicker than Windows 10, as far as finding the information. I preferred Windows 7 for this interoperability. It was easier to interact with the Windows 7, to use the control panel. With Windows 10 there are fewer settings in the control panel as well, but there's the different possibility to reach the same information, and sometimes it creates confusion.

Overall, it was easier to reach different programs in the previous version.

In an upcoming release of Windows 10, I would like to see less. There are too many elements or settings. I prefer the operating system to be very minimal because it's only the base to access all the software. It doesn't need to be cumbersome, it should contain what we need and nothing more. For example, the weather, or similar features, only take up memory.

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately six years.

The solution is stable.

I have found it is not scalable.

I have contacted Microsoft support but not for Windows 10. I have spoken to them about all the Office 365 products. They're very quick and I really appreciate them, it's very nice to work with the Microsoft technician. I'm not a Microsoft person, I don't work for Microsoft, but nevertheless, it's a very nice team.

The installation of Windows 10 is quite quick. Windows 10 is a large piece of software and needs time to get installed, but it's quite user-friendly. It takes time, it can't take five minutes to install an operating system, it's okay. It's user-friendly, the installation is quite easy, even for normal users. I'm an admin, but for normal users, I think it's easy as well.

I did the installation of my home computer and at work, I did it through an image, or through an SCCM, which other products are offered by Microsoft.

My company is on a corporate license for Windows 10 and my personal computer I bought the operating system already installed, I did not pay for it.

A normal user I would advise them to follow the instruction when you install Windows 10 and use the search function because everything can be found in the search function. There's lots of information you can find in the browser, in a Google search. We talking about a very specific product. Windows 10 is an operating system, it's not real software, it's difficult to evaluate.

I rate Windows 10 seven out of ten.
